Senior cleric says Shi'i militia foiled "terrorist" plots
2004-04-12
Text of report by Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) web site, salt to taste:
Tehran, 12 April: The political adviser to Abd al-Aziz al-Hakim has said: The Badr Corps has taken appropriate security measures and foiled terrorist attacks and prevented explosions planned over the last two days and prior to the Arba'in ceremony [anniversary of the fortieth day after the anniversary of the martyrdom of the third Shi'i Imam, Imam Husayn] in Karbala.
Well, that's nice of them.

Announcing the news in an interview with the correspondent of the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA), Sayyid Abd al-Aziz al-Hakim, who is a political adviser to the chairman of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq [SCIRI], Sayyid Abd al-Aziz al-Hakim, said: As a result of this measure, the Badr Corps managed to discover 10 Katyusha rockets, a large quantity of TNT and C-4 and explosives which were going to be used in Karbala.
Badr Boyz being the Sistani backed mob. Wonder if someone was planning on booming more Shiites and trying to pin it on the US?

#1  This also seems like a way to say Sistani is a legitimate authority in a chaotic area ....
